Watched it straight thru....TWICE!

Well done film, with lots of revealing info on the music we all grew up with.

If you're my age, you remember when blacks had to sit at the back of the bus and couldn't eat at regular lunch counters.

While those practices are gone, racial discrimination is still very real...just hidden, but everywhere.


This is an interesting post for Martin Luther King day.

Thanks so much, Nigel!

Gibson should release a Rosetta Tharpe signature model SG. She must have sold a lot of guitars for them back then.
